Why is it legal for mircosoft to embed malware into their programs? I mean did suddenly people who create virus's and other forms of malicious software get a pass and become respectable members of the community?

What was stopping foundries from pumping out 14nm chips in 2010? Was it the lithography? Is there some sort of dependence on earlier slightly larger silicon in order to create newer slightly smaller nodes?

Why does silicon only get ~30% smaller every year? What's preventing them from just saying "Oh shit, transistors are gonna be 200% smaller in a few years. Let's just do what we'd have then, except now!"?

>>52644538shrinking means finding new ways of making transistors smaller. the reason this is hard is that electricity can travel through material at a very small scale, they call it leaking. so basically they have to find new materials that don't leak as bad or think of new ways to make transistors like 3d transistors.

>>52644428that depends on what you use it for and what you want out of it. If you older games at higher settings and newer games at lower(basically at near minimum) setting and you're okay with that, its fine. If you want to play Far cry primal or "insert newer AAA game here" at higher settings and 1080p its junk.

My HP Pavilion laptop is having some problems. I got it 4-5 years ago, and recently updated it to Windows 10. Everything was going okay, despite it running a little slower, then, suddenly, it pretty much died. It told me I had a FAT file system error, and wouldn't turn on for a few days. Now, it will do some automatic system repair, but it only loads up to a black screen. All of this would be fine, but I forgot to backup my files, including my reaction folder. So, is there any way to fix it or at least extract my data? Thank

>>52644312You need to replace your harddrive eitherway(I think, don't quote me on this), but if you're lucky, you'll be able to retrieve the files if you use a USB to sata 2.5" cable on the near dead old HDD.

same thing about paul walker and tupac. im pretty sure they aint dead, they just living on an island right now or they signed papers to explore other planets in the solar system. since they know that they are risking their lives, nasa (or whatever space agency thats hosting this service) wants to keep it low key so that in case they do fail, their company's rep isn't tarnished. so they made up a story for their loved ones to share on facebook and report to the news.

Dear /g Today i come to you for help.A friend of mine <insert sob story that tugs the heart strings and makes you want to help me> and so she asked me to resurrect her old desktop.She does not care about salvaging data she just wants it to work.I hit up the HP web site and they still carry the drivers for it (thank the computer gods).Anyhow, all i am missing is a windows xp iso. Can anyone help me. I used to have an iso that was stollen from microsofts own training labs. It was never hacked or any of that shit. It would always update and never wanted...Comment too long.

>>52644109If only there was a place for pirating stuff. You know like a bay for pirates. I know! You could call it the pirate bay. People would post links to files that contain information on how to download stuff for free that normally costs money. You could download stuff so fast they would call it a torrent. So things like operating systems that have been out for years would have tons of people trying to circumvent the copy protections. So surely an OS that's five generations old would have a hundred ways of...Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
